Proposal: [Core]

Timed out 1 vote to 5. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 27 Dec 2021 18:40:28 UTC

Remove the text “This extends to exerting full control over the actions of another Tripper, defined here as the controlled Tripper’s game behavior being functionally indistinguishable from if the controlling Tripper was logged into their account and playing through it, over a period of more than a day.” from Fair Play.

wtf does “functionally indistinguishable” even mean?

I know this was only recently passed, but it’s terrible rule writing, and if this proposal fails I will show you exactly why.

First off, rude; I wrote that proposal and I’m right here, thanks.

Second of all, sure, you can scam it, but the point of Fair Play isn’t to be air tight; it’s to give the other players a means of remediation in the face of something that quorum players have decided is an abuse. If you get core rule scams legalised again then maybe it’s a problem, but until then I’m fine with some slightly sloppy wording in exchange for clarity of intent on this.

What’s the punchline, that we’re all behaviourally indistinguishable during Seasonal Downtime?

against Would be glad to consider a different wording for it.

I think it’s probably something to do with Trippers being moved to the location of their alliance-members, would be my guess.

Not a fan of the threats. If there is a issue in the rules, point it out or execute the scam don’t just go “remove this or I’ll do something”

I challenge any of the Trippers who voted against this to distinguish my game behavior last week from what it would have been if they were logged into my account and playing through it.

challenge accepted: the operating word here is “playing”, and u haven’t been.
